Why do people sleep?

We all need sleep to rest our brains and muscles and replenish our energy sources. All animals need sleep. Without sleep our brains don’t work as well, our muscles get tired faster and we cannot keep up our energy levels. So go to bed and sleep tight when your parents tell you to.
